Bluehole and Brendan Greene (aka
PLAYERUNKNOWN), the team behind
PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, shared today the latest video showcasing the best action
from Alpha 2 and streamers having fun playing the game.
Greene, creator of the battle royale genre, began modding as
a hobby while working as a DJ, photographer and designer is making
his professional debut as Creative Director at Bluehole, the
acclaimed developers of
TERA.

During the four week testing, Bluehole updated the build on a
weekly basis, fixing bugs and addressing issues that participants
reported. Major focuses of Alpha 2 were to improve gunplay and test
the DUOS mode and REVIVE feature — which are currently being
polished for the next round of testing. The team is now gearing up
for the upcoming closed beta test and will announce more
information soon.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter where players start with
nothing and fight to forge tenuous alliances and locate weapons,
vehicles and supplies as they strive to be the lone survivor in a
realistic 8 x 8 km world that shows off Unreal Engine 4’s
capabilities.
